BUGGY-SEAT POCKET.

$PECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 364,771, dated June 14,1887.

Application filedfl'une 30, 1886. Serial No. 206,688. (No model.)

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM G. REEVES, a citizen of theUnited States,residing at Oramer Hill, in the county of Camden and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buggy-SeatPockets or Bags; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

My invention relates 'to receptacles for at-v tachment or nse undervehicle-seats; and the object of the invention is to provide abag or boxfor receiving articles which will not hold moisture nor gather odors byreason of imperfect ventilation. I employ foraminous material of whichto construct the box, preferably using woven-wire netting, so that thereshall be no imperforate walls or bottom to retain dampness and gatherthe odors of any articles which may be placed in it, nor of the stableor shed in which the buggy maybe housed. The open material constitutingthe sides and bottom'of the box affords not only a perfect ventilation,but also prevents any saturation from damp or watery articles. Topreventthis saturation, the wire-netting will be found to be the mostpractical article which can be employed, as it is the cheapest, mostreadily applied, and in other respects the best material that can befound for the purpose.

The following detailed description willfully indicate the manner inwhich I employ this invention.

The accompanying drawings illustrate what I consider the best means forcarrying my invention into practice.

Figure l is a View showing the side of a buggy broken away to exhibitthe end of the box or'bag. This figure also shows the proximity of thebuggy or vehicle seat to the box or bag. Fig. 2 is a front view of theseat and foramin'ous box or bag.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts. I

A is the side of the buggy or other vehicle.

B is the seat, and b bthe legs or supports of the seat.

0 represents the foraminous box or bag. As shown in the drawings, it isformed of wire-netting, and while, for reasons already given, I preferto make it of that material, it will be understood that any foraminousmaterial may be usedas, for instance, perforate wooden or metallicplates or slats. As formed of the woven wire, it is made by simply cutting the material in such manner as to cause it,w-hen the incisedcorners are overlapped, as shown at c in the drawings, to form a bag orbox of the proper form. I provide a door, as shown at D in Fig. 2, whichis also formed of fora-minous material and hinged to the base of thebox, as shown at' d d. Any suitable catch or fastening may be employedto keep this door closed. g

If desired, the box may be made without the door on the side and anopening with suitable cover provided in the buggy-seat. The top of thebag or box may or may not be covered with the Wire-netting or otherforaminous material. Ordinarily it will not be necessary to have such acover for it.

The box or bag is secured to the frame of the buggy-seat, and, ifdesired, to the posts by any suitable means, and when formed of wovenwire the box or bag may havea stiffen- I ing-rib around the top and inthe vertical and horizontal corners; but such will not ordinarily berequired.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure byLetters Pat- I In a buggy-seat, the combination, with the seat-frame andposts or supports therefor, of a bag or box constructed of wire-clothhaving its corners overlapped, as shown at c, secured to the seat-frameat the top and extending down a portion of the wayin the space below theseat, so as to leave'a space between the bottom of the box and thebuggy-bottom, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM C. REEVES.
